2013 - Karen Paolillo at Turgwe Hippo Trust is raising this young mongoose
orphan. Karen is such a fine nanny to the wild things here in Zimbabwe and
probably one of the few women in the world to have pet a wild wart hog or to
touch a baby baboon in his mother's arms.

While life with Squiggle
involves taking her for short walks in the bush and meeting all her
needs for food and companionship, the needs of the animals on a wider
scale are daunting. With periods of very little rainfall, grasses are
not expected to hold out in June and July and this means that
supplemental food will need to be brought in on massive trucks again to
feed the animals. The Harmony Fund is already helping to meet some of
the monthly costs here to sustain the trust and keep their anti-poaching
wardens on patrol, but now we're also gearing up for this coming
challenge that will determine the very survival of hippos, baboons,
elephants and other forms of wildlife. Stay tuned for more details in
our next newsletter.

heartbreaking bull killing ritual where 20 to 40 young men push the bull
onto the ground, stab its eyes, yank out its tongue, twist its genitals and
then beat it to death. http://www.animalrightssouthafrica.com/ ANIANIMAL
